Ridgewood NJ, With some states continuing to reopen while others have paused or reversed course due to surges in COVID-19, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released updated rankings for the States with the Fewest Coronavirus Restrictions, as well as accompanying videos and audio files.
To identify which states have the fewest coronavirus restrictions, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 17 key metrics. Our data set ranges from whether the state has any penalties for non-compliance with COVID-19 legislation to whether the state has required face masks in public and health checks at restaurants. Below, you can see highlights from the report, along with a WalletHub Q&A.
Coronavirus Restrictions in New Jersey (1=Fewest, 25=Avg.):
16th – Requirement to Wear a Face Mask in Public

44th – Travel Restrictions
32nd – Large Gatherings Restrictions

And our cases are way way down comparatively to states with less restrictions. Seems like the restrictions are working. Thanks to the ridgewood blog for acknowledging what a good job our governor is doing keeping our state safe!
Heil Murphy
Why does he have his mask below his nose? Great example of what not to do Murph! You are a disgrace.
The places with the highest restrictions are all Dem-controlled. It’s all part of the plan to stifle the economy and to make Trump look back for the election. Never mind family-owned businesses. Politics is evil.
It alarms me that a governor can make a law and enforce it all by declaring an “emergency”. It’s not how the system is supposed to work. At a minimum there should be a finite period of time where the executive orders can be enforced by declaring emergency, followed by legislative approval after that period. Not a fan.
Gov Murphy has blatant contempt for his oath of office and the bill of rights. His perpetual renewal of the emergency powers act gives him tyrannical rule that he abuses like a dictator drunk with power. This is a dark time in NJ history.
tyrants thirve only because they are allowed to thrive.
Hands down the worst governor in NJ history.

KING Horse face Murphy is by far the worst in state history!! Way in much power that has gone to his head. I bet if he owned restaurants they’d be at 50% or more by now
